Overview
FNS-PO is a 1.8 MW diesel power plant located in Brazil. It operates on oil and serves local power generation needs.
FNS-PO is a diesel power plant situated in Brazil, with coordinates near Florianópolis. With a capacity of 1.8 MW, it falls into the small-scale category for power generation facilities. The plant is currently operational and uses oil as its primary fuel. Diesel power plants like FNS-PO typically operate under Brazil's national environmental regulations, including CONAMA resolutions for air emissions. Such facilities often serve as backup or peaking power sources due to their quick start capabilities and relatively lower capital costs. The plant's small capacity suggests it may serve a localized grid or industrial application. Its proximity to the coast near Florianópolis indicates potential use for supporting regional energy demand or emergency power supply.
Environmental context
The plant's use of diesel fuel results in higher CO2 emissions per MWh compared to natural gas or renewable sources. Its small capacity limits overall environmental impact, but proximity to populated areas near Florianópolis may raise local air quality concerns. Brazil's regulatory framework for diesel generators includes emission limits for particulate matter and NOx.
